Searching a webpage

f_beamer

Hello,

I need to search for all the person names in a web page.

For eg

http://cs.stanford.edu/People/faculty

I need to extract all the names of the faculty automatically and store them in.

The logic should work even if we change the URL like if we input

http://www.eecs.mit.edu/faculty/index.html

it should still be able to extract the names of the faculty from the web page.

Can I get any Ideas please.

Thanks in advance.

What do you want ?

Do you want to list out all the names, or just the ones you search for ?

Anyway you first need to insert each name into a textfile, array or mysql table.
Then you can do a search.

I would like to list out all the names in the web page. The user just enters the URL of the web page.

OK. Thats easy. Just create an array and output it in a table like shown below.
(You must fill inn the names in the array).

<?php
# Creating the array with all the info
$info = array (
 array('Name',                  'Phone',        'Office',       'Email'),
 array('Alex Aiken',            '5-3359',       'Gates 411',    '-'),
 array('Serafim Batzoglou',     '3-3334',       'Clark S266',   '-'),
 array('Gill Bejerano',         '650 723-7666', 'Beckman B321', '-'),
 array('Dan Boneh',             '5-3897',       'GATES 475',    '-'),
);

echo "<table border=1>";
#First loop through the arrays index
for($row=0; $row<count($info); $row++) {
 echo "<tr>";
 # Then loop through each element of the arrays
 for($column=0; $column<count($info[$row]); $column++) {
  print "<td>".$info[$row][$column]."</td>";
 }
 echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
